Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

Chapter 100 The CEO’s Cousin in a Workplace Story (3)

Ye Huai's pupils suddenly shrank. Thinking he had heard wrongly, he raised his head and asked uncertainly, "What did you say?"

Lin Xi narrowed her eyes slightly and slowly leaned forward. The movement was gentle but carried an irresistible force. The distance between the two of them was instantly shortened with his movement. Her eyes flashed with seriousness and persistence, and she spoke clearly: "I say, do you have a sister fetish?"

The sound was not loud, but it hit Ye Huai's heart like a heavy hammer. The faint fragrance of Lin Xi lingered around Ye Huai, making him dazed for a moment.

But he quickly came to his senses and subconsciously retorted: "Ridiculous! How could I possibly..."

"Then why did I just go out to work and you were so angry that you didn't eat for the whole day and made yourself look like yesterday?" Lin Xi frowned slightly and moved closer to Ye Huai.

"I just forgot for a moment." Ye Huai lowered his eyes slightly, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across his face, but he still responded stubbornly.

“Oh? I didn’t know that the famous President Ye in H City is actually a person who forgets to eat for a whole day.” Lin Xi’s mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a half-smile, with obvious ridicule and doubt in his tone.

Ye Huai pursed his lips and remained silent. This excuse was too lame, even he himself found it hard to believe, not to mention Lin Xi who was acting out of character and particularly strong today.

"You don't want me to go out to work, right?" Seeing Ye Huai silent, Lin Xi sighed softly, and her voice gradually softened. "Why?"

"We are family. You can speak directly to me about whatever you think. Regardless of whether I agree or not, you should not take such extreme measures to harm your body."

Hearing Lin Xi's gentle voice, Ye Huai finally raised his eyes and looked into her eyes. Her eyes, which usually filled with smiles, were now filled with concern and love for him, which made Ye Huai's heart tremble.

He really wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start. Even he himself didn't know why he did that childish thing yesterday. But the three words "sister-loving" that Lin Xi said caused quite a stir in his heart.

They had only been together for a short month. Was he really so attached to this cousin who was not related to him by blood? But if it was not what she said, then why did he feel a little bitter when he saw her beaming with joy when she mentioned that senior the night before yesterday?

Several complex emotions surged in his heart, and finally an answer gradually formed, and it seemed that he was about to say it on the tip of his tongue. However, in Lin Xi's worried eyes, Ye Huai finally uttered only three words, "I'm sorry."

The conversation ended unpleasantly. Lin Xi ran back to her room angrily, leaving Ye Huai sitting on the sofa in a daze, muttering something softly.

"Host, how come after you had a fight with the second male lead, his fate deviation value increased instead?" The system looked at the digital panel in front of it puzzled and humbly asked Lin Xi for advice.

"Ye Huai developed serious psychological problems due to his tragic childhood experiences. Considering his final outcome, if we want to change his fate, we must first get him to change his tendency to self-harm and self-destruct."

"In order to change this tendency, in addition to external guidance, it is more important for him to consciously control this thought and make him realize that his self-abandonment will not only hurt himself, but also hurt those who really care about him. This time I was just going out to socialize normally, but his reaction was so extreme. On the surface, it seemed as if he was 'jealous'."

"But when I think about it, we've only been together for a month, and it's not love at first sight. How could we develop such deep feelings so quickly? The root cause is his psychological problems. He made things so painful when they could be solved with just one sentence. If I don't make him realize the wrongness of this behavior in time, then no matter how much I do for him, he will still go to extremes because of that 'family incident'."

"So what should we do next?" Although the system didn't quite understand what he heard, it felt that Lin Xi's analysis was very impressive. It looked at the numbers on the panel and said in an excited tone.

"The secret cannot be revealed." Lin Xi kept it a secret at this time.

However, although she did not say it, the system soon understood it, because in the following period of time, Lin Xi unilaterally launched a cold war. She went to work in the studio as usual every day, prepared only her own breakfast, and returned home later and later at night. Although the two of them lived in the same room, Ye Huai did not see Lin Xi again for a whole half month.

Ye Huai returned to his life of eating alone, reading alone, and handling affairs alone. If it weren't for the thriving plants and various small ornaments in the house that always appeared in Ye Huai's sight, he would almost ignore the fact that there was another person in this house.

"Grandpa, I want to go back to the company..." After experiencing such a warm time full of worldly affairs, Ye Huai really couldn't bear the loneliness of his home again, so on the twentieth day after their cold war, he asked Grandpa Ye to end his recuperation life early and return to the company.

Mr. Ye naturally disagreed at first, but Ye Huai’s attitude was firm and Mr. Ye couldn’t persuade him, so he had no choice but to agree.

Thanks for the gifts, love you guys

So in the following days, Ye Huai returned to the company and immersed himself in tedious affairs.

Being so busy, he had no time to think about his relationship with Lin Xi. Only occasionally, when he returned home at night and looked at the empty living room and kitchen, he would fall into a brief trance.

In this way, the two of them went out early and came back late, and the days of not seeing each other lasted for more than half a month. Just when Ye Huai had finally adapted to such a life again, a late-night phone call broke his lonely life again.

"Hello, is this Mr. Ye Huai? Something happened to your sister Lin Xi..." Then there was a sharp collision sound from the other end of the line, "Go to the People's Hospital..." The voice suddenly became anxious, and before the words were finished, the phone was suddenly hung up.

Ye Huai looked at the black screen, his heart skipped a beat, and he tried to call back, but no one answered the call. He called Lin Xi again, but no one answered the call either. He could only take a deep breath, quickly got up, put on his clothes, dragged his weak hands and feet, went downstairs, and drove to the hospital.

There were few vehicles on the road late at night. Ye Huai increased the speed to the highest value within a safe range and quickly arrived at the hospital. He got out of the car and went straight to the emergency room.

The emergency room should have been very quiet late at night, but Ye Huai saw the ambulance and police car with their signal lights flashing parked at the door of the emergency room. Through the glass door, he could also vaguely see the busy medical staff coming and going inside. Ye Huai's heart was pounding and he rushed in with his long legs.

Fortunately, although he was anxious, he did not lose his composure. He went straight to the duty desk and asked the nurse on duty, "Hello, is the injured person from the car accident tonight sent here?"

The nurse's face was exhausted and she was a little impatient at first, but when she looked up and saw Ye Huai's face and heard that he was asking about the injured in the car accident, she forced herself to be alert and asked him, "Are you a family member of the injured?"

"I'm her brother." Ye Huai replied quickly.

"So that's how it is. Such a pity for such a young girl." The nurse showed some pity on her face. "She is in 2203. The doctor who brought her in said that her leg injury is quite serious. I'm afraid..."

Ye Huai's legs went weak and he quickly held onto the counter to steady himself. He said thank you hastily and ran upstairs. The nurse looked at his flustered back, sighed heavily, lowered her head to look at the registration book on the table, and suddenly remembered that she seemed to have forgotten to ask his sister's name.

Ye Huai rushed upstairs and followed the signs to room 2203. He saw two traffic policemen and a doctor standing at the door. They were talking in a low voice with serious expressions. The doctor shook his head from time to time, his eyes full of regret.

Ye Huai felt an inexplicable panic sweeping over his whole body, causing his steps to become stiff. He pinched his palms, trying to calm himself, took a deep breath, and prepared to walk up to the three people.

However, at this moment, a puzzled female voice suddenly came from behind him, "Is it cousin Ye Huai?"

Ye Huai turned around suddenly, only to see a pretty but unfamiliar girl standing not far behind him, looking at him with a puzzled look on her face.

After seeing Ye Huai's face clearly, the girl showed a hint of surprise on her face, and her tone became particularly excited, "Are you here to pick up Xixi?"

Ye Huai's face was so dark that it was about to drip water. Looking at her lively appearance, he thought of the fact that the nurse on duty had just said that Lin Xi's leg might not be saved. Just as he was about to question her, he heard a strange male voice, "Is that Cousin Ye?"

Ye Huai looked towards the source of the sound again, and saw a tall, straight, sunny and handsome boy covering his arm, with a uniformed traffic policeman beside him, walking towards him.

Although Ye Huai had never seen this person before, he could tell at a glance that this person was the senior that Lin Xi had mentioned when he met while studying abroad. Now Lin Xi went out early and came back late every day to help in his studio.

Thinking of this, he was even more furious. He was always cold and self-restrained, but for the first time he lost control of his emotions and rushed up to punch the man. The man was hit by his unexpected punch and took several steps back. He was about to fall to the ground. Fortunately, the traffic policeman next to him was quick-witted and rushed up to hold him up.

"What are you doing!" The traffic policeman was a young man. He didn't expect Ye Huai to dare to hit people in front of the police. He immediately widened his eyes and shouted at him.

"It's okay, it's okay." The man covered the half of his face that was punched with a grin and hurriedly said to the traffic police.

Then he stood up again and bowed to Ye Huai, his face full of apology, "I'm sorry, cousin, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought Xixi to drink so much. She is still sleeping in the ward. You can take her back first. I will come to apologize in person tomorrow after I have dealt with this."

Ye Huai wanted to punch him again, but his anger was mostly diluted by his words, so he asked him hurriedly, "What do you mean, didn't you have a car accident? Wasn't she lying in 2203?"

The traffic policeman next to the man finally understood the situation and stepped forward and said, "Are you the cousin of that girl? She's fine, she just drank too much and is still drunk." After saying that, he glanced at the boy next to him and said with a look of disappointment, "As for him, he was drunk driving late at night, so he should come to the hospital for a blood test."

The man looked at the serious traffic policeman with a guilty look on his face, "I'm sorry, police officer. I won't dare to do it again next time."

"Why call me uncle? I'm only 22. If you had realized this earlier, you wouldn't be here now. Wait for the test results to come out and then we'll see how to punish you." The young traffic policeman looked disgusted.

"I just drank a few bottles of beer, not much. If you don't believe me, I can walk in a straight line right now to show you." The man was tall, but in front of the traffic policeman who was a head shorter than him, he was as obedient as a primary school student.

"Let's wait until the test results come out before we talk." The traffic policeman didn't want to argue with him, so he walked to a chair and sat down. Then he turned to Ye Huai who was standing on the side and said, "The girl in 2203 was a passenger in a traffic accident on another lane when we were checking for drunk driving. She's not your sister."

The man shrugged helplessly, and looked at Ye Huai with an apologetic look on his face, "Cousin, I still have to wait for the test results to come out, you can take Xixi back first."

The girl just now also came back to her senses, nodded quickly, and said to Ye Huai: "Cousin, I will take you there."

Only then did Ye Huai feel completely relieved. He nodded, his face serious, and followed the girl to the room where Lin Xi was.

The room was temporarily opened. There was no quilt on the bed. Lin Xi was wearing a light green dress with her hands placed neatly on her belly. If it weren't for her unusually rosy cheeks and slightly wrinkled brows, she would have looked like she was asleep.

Ye Huai looked at her lying there quietly, well-behaved and quiet. His heart, which had been unable to calm down due to excessive fright tonight, seemed to have finally found its home and gradually settled to the ground. At the same time, it seemed as if something had fallen there silently and quietly planted a seed.

He slowly walked to the bedside, leaned over gently, and held the person in his arms almost devoutly, and held Lin Xi face to face. The moment his arm touched her, Lin Xi, who was originally in a coma, seemed to suddenly wake up a little. Her tightly closed eyes opened slightly, and she murmured softly, "Ye Huai?"

Ye Huai felt her warm breath on his ears, and his heart softened. He lowered his head to look at her well-behaved face and replied softly, "Yes, it's me."
